Pound Ridge Elementary School

Outstanding experience all around. Good class sizes, engaging teachers, outstanding environment.

PRES is a hidden gem. Pound Ridge is itself a very special, tight-knit community, and that feeling is reflected in the school. The teachers and staff are incredible, and truly care about the kids. There are fantastic programs, such as the after school PRIDE program, that help distinguish PRES from other schools. My one child has moved on to the middle school, and PRES did a great job preparing her for the change. My current PRES student loves school and cannot wait to go everyday. It really is an amazing school.

We raised 2 children here, both of which went through the public school system from K-12. (One with a learning disability.) Our experience with PR Elementary was wonderful. Our kids loved going to school, loved their teachers, loved their friends. They are very different from each other, and both thrived. Teachers were dedicated and devoted to every student. We always felt we could reach out to them any time without hesitation. Our girls continued to thrive in the public school system, and went on to highly academic, rigorous colleges. I am grateful for the foundation and confidence instilled in both of them in their formative years.

My three daughters went through PRES. Great caring environment, solid academics. On most days, the kids were eager to go to school - there was always something exciting waiting for them. I am grateful to all of the teachers. After all, it is all about teachers and the absolute majority of teachers at PRES are excellent.
